Nate's Green Thumb

Nate decided this morning he was ready for some responsiblity. He said he wanted a plant to water and grow. I am not sure if this was promted by a TV show or all the experience he had gotten working in Juee and PopPop's garden :) Nonetheless we took a trip to Home Depot...all four of us to pick out Nate a plant for his garden (otherwise known as our patio). He had so much fun looking at all the plants.....maybe a future Horticulture major:). Ben lost interest when I stopped letting him run up and down the aisles screaming. So Ben and I went to the car to practice his driving skills and Nate and Brian picked out the plants. Nate and my grandbabies ;)

Nate is the Big Brother! As the oldest he sets an amazing example for Benny and Eli. This little boy loves people and loves getting out. The first thing he asks me each day is where are we going and who is going to be there. He does not have a lazy bone in his body...he is a very hard worker. He can be very serious and shy at times, but when he is in his silly mood this boy can laugh forever! Nate has a very kind heart and is quick to think of others, very intuitive for a four year old. His favorite colors are green and red. When he grows up he wants to be a Daddy and Woody from Toy Story.

Benny is Mr. personality....you can tell he is the second child. He is very easy going about so many things, but he definitely has an opinion. He is great at sharing and he loves playing with others. Benny also enjoys his alone time and can entertain himself for a long time. He has a little crazy streak in him. This mixed with his ability to charm makes it very hard to get mad at him. Benny can make anyone laugh. He makes every activity entertaining. This little boy can melt your heart! He loves cars, dinosaurs, monster trucks, and painting (most of the time on himself). He looks up to Nate so much and wants to do everything he can do.

Little Eli is the youngest of our three boys. He is just such a sweet little guy. He wants to keep up with his older brothers more than anything. He is always following them around the house or play ground. He loves balls of any type and is quick to point them out and say "BALL". He loves to sing and dance, he has some very impressive moves. He could sleep anywhere and we haven't found a loud noise that scares him yet. Mr. Eli is very attached to his Mama. He is also my best eater, this boy will eat almost anything.

I am a 29 year old stay at home mama of three precious little boys. I married my high school sweetheart Brian 6 years ago. We are both native Texans and Fightin Texas Aggies, Class of 2005. We consider our home Coppell, TX but we currently reside in Temecula, CA. I love to take pictures and update our loved ones on what is new in our life.
